Looking at putting these on my 07 GTS. Anyone have any experience with them, are they worth the money?

So one of my keys is giving me problems. When i use the spare key i am getting intermittent messages about the engine being immobilized and to consult the owners manual. So i thought, ok 10 year old battery, i'll change both keys battery. put new Energized batteries in both fobs along with...

Hi guys, 2 questions for you. What is the size of the speaker in the middle of the dash on the VF please and does anyone know where to buy single speakers? cheers

Just had the G8 designs kit install in my E1 GTS along with an amp and reserving camera. Very please but Android Auto is being a pain. Keeps asking me to put the parking brake on to complete setup even though it's already on. The kit looks alot like the Alpine one but the difference is you can...

So i'm putting a new headunit in the HSV GTS in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know what happens to the reversing sensors in this case? Do you still hear them or are they no longer functional? Cheers

Anyone one struck this before? Creaking noise coming from my clutch pedal. It's only become apparent since i had an after market clutch installed. Some googling suggests some lythium white grease into the master cylinder might fix the issue but thought i'd ask here first. Cheers

Just brought a JVC KW-M730BT and noticed it is Mastro compatable so started looking into what the Mastro is. Looking like it interface box that allows head units to retain sterring wheel controls, HVAC controls on head unit and offers performance data via the head unit as well as code clearing...

Looking for a bit of advice please. Does the VE E1 run an amp? Will my new head unit require an aftermarket harness? Cheers

Hi guys, I will be in the nearish future i will be replacing my E1 HSV with a new double din headunit. Appart from great sound i am really only looking to 2 things from the new headunit that are a must. 1,able to download apps (basically so i can run a nav program off it). 2, has to have a...

Ok i've asked this question on another site but thought i'd try here too. Of the available brake caliper paints on the market....VHT and Dupli-color, which is the closest to Holden Sting Red. Or, is there another over the counter brake paint thats close to this red? Cheers

So i'm going to get my wheels repaired in the very near future. Typical odd scuff mark here and there and clear flaking off on one wheel. Noting unusual for a 10 year old car. However i recently saw a red VF2 GTS with gold wheels and thought it looks f***ing fantastic. How do you think the...

So guys i have an odd issue. When i drive down the road listening to the radio/MP3's about every 30 seconds or so "front aux" will flash up on the screen for a moment killing the sound for a second or so. The other time this happens is when i pull the hand brake on and off the same thing...

Well finally got my braided clutch line in for VE GTS. While the new line has not totally fixed the issue it is about 70% better than it was. Or in other words the clutch pedal now only losses about 2 cm worth of pressure not the 7 or 8 cm's it previously losses. So i guess the complete fix is a...

Gentlemen does anyone know where i find one of these quick connectors in Australia? Been looking for a few weeks in New Zealand but one seems to know where to find them and to be honest i'd prefer not to have to pay the sort of money this email seller is wanting if i can avoid it...

Can anyone suggest who or where to buy a braided clutch line please. Tried Safe brakes but not getting anywhere. Cheers

Had a cam installed yesterday. Tuner said the anti freeze was low and weak and indeed it is looking at the over flow today when cold. Can some tell me what anti freeze i should be putting in my beast. Cheers

So i thought i'd put a video up of what the VCM884 is like seeing as there is very little info about it on the net. In my opinion it is a great option if you want to cam your V8 but it has to meet the wife or girlfriend standard of not shaking the car to much. So below is the dyno sheet and...

So i took my tow bar off and sold it. Leaving an ugly hole. Time to get creative i thought. So i made up a patch out of black perspex. Took the badge i was going to put on my Harrop OTR and put it on the black patch for something different, and apart from the screw hole covers i'm going to buy...

Hi guys, can anyone tell me if the sensor in the picture attached is the sensor used in the VE Commodores?

Has anyone recently had a whole cut in there rear bumber for a towbar and still have the piece that was cut out? Looking to fill the hole in when i take the towbar out and happy to pay overs for it. Cheers

Ok i asked this question on another forum and no answered so here goes again. I have an 07 GTS. It has a towbar which i'll never use and live in a smallish city where traffic jams arn't a major problem. So what i want to know is what others have done to fill the hole in the honeycomb section...

All week my headunit has decided it doesn't want to play any CD's today it played them fine though still skipped and a froze a little. I've tried putting a lense cleaner through it but it refuses to play it (disc error). Is it worth taking it to a auto sparky and asking them to put the head...

So i'm toying with at some stage getting a performance cam put into the GTS. I cammed my old VY2 SS and while i loved the sound and performance increase neither the wife nor i were keen on the shaking. So my question is can i put a performance cam in for that cammed V8 sound and a performance...

Odd thing happened today while out on a trip. Was playing a CD when the head unit died completely....no sound, nothing on the screen. About a minute i was about to pull over and in the lame hope of restarting the car would fix it when it sprang back to life and hasn't skipped a beat since...

Hey guys my strut tops are about had it and I think it's time to replace. Been looking through Ebay and have found strut tops by an Aussie outfit called Bettaride. Has anyone tried their strut tops? My heart wants to buy the polytough or superpro strut tops but my wallet isn't willing and the...

Hey team, i noticed today that my cowing around the bottom of the windscreen is lifting and will eventually let in water. What sort of silicon gel am i going to need to water proof my cowing/windscreen again please.

Hi team, i have just brought a set of HSV sill/scuff plates for my GTS. Has anyone swap theirs in and out and is there anything to watch for while doing as they look easily damagable.

Does anyone know who if anyone sells HSV number badges such as 340 or 350? I know i can get a 340 badge from HSV....but $90?

Hi guys, today i got a Harrop OTR installed and a retune done my GTS. While my tuner was installing the OTR i noticed he was cleaning my throttle body by holding the butterfly value open with his fingers. So now i have a high idle, around 2100rpm while in gear then drops back to normal idle of...

Hi team, this could be a dumb question but please bare with me. About an hour ago i posted in the VE section of the show your ride section. After i submitted my post i looked away for a moment and looked back at the screen in time to see a message but i don't know what the message was....i...

Been humming and haring weather to make a thread about my new HSV but have decided to take the plunge. So it's an 07 E1 HSV and i pretty much love everything about it apart from no media streaming from my phone. It came with a Di Phillipo extractor and exhaust package (2.5 inch i think) and...

For some time now i've been weary of Nulon (call me an oil snob but i just couldn't see how a small oil company could produce a better oil than the big companies). But from reading threads from here and other sites i decided to give it a try. When i picked the car up today i was surprised to...

Has anyone else found that their gear knob is really loose after after putting a short shifter in and can lifted off the shaft really easily?

Having a look through the Supercheap nz site for pre cat O2's and they recommend Dasko o2 sensors. I've never heard of them. Anyone used them?

My HSV red calipers are looking a little dirty and i want to give them a clean. I'm thinking of water blasting them but i'm a little concerned that the HSV decal may lift. Also contemplating some sort of cemical cleaner but then i'm not keen on the paint being desolved. What do you guys use to...

Right team, i've asked this question on another forum but haven't got an answer so i'll try you guys here. I know this has been covered on a number of occasions but i haven't read of a potential solution i might have for it (and yes i have the problem). The VE sticky clutch pedal is a well...

Is anyone able to me if the VE V8 alternator has an internal or external regulator? Cheers

Due to my handbrake having almost all of it's clips broken i need to swap it out for a new one. My question is how do i remove the base section of the handbrake? Cheers

Hey guys, the pedant in me is struggling to accept the look of these badges. As you can see the front GTS badge is stone chipped with the red coming off and the front left GTS badge has taken a whack or something and part of the S is missing. Any suggestions?
